The Mexican winger pounced on a missed clearance by Federico Dimarco to fire into the net moments after kick-off. Verona completed the turnaround with an Antonin Barak strike after 62 minutes and Mattia Zaccagni header 11 minutes from time to secure a victory that compounded Napoli’s misery following their midweek Italian Super Cup defeat by Juventus. Napoli are sixth with 34 points from 18 matches, nine behind league leaders AC Milan but with a game in hand, while Verona are 10th on 30 points from 19 matches. An early Mattia Destro strike gave Genoa a 1-0 win over fellow relegation battlers Cagliari, extending the visitors’ losing run to six matches. Genoa’s revival under Davide Ballardini continues as the 16th-placed side have 18 points, level with Spezia and Udinese above them.
